WILHELMSHAVEN, GERMANY WILHELMSHAVEN was the first port BEATTY arrived at in North Europe. Our stay lasted from 27-31 May. After eleven days at sea we were lookingfor- ward to German beer and a day or two of touring the country- side. We were impressed by the oleaniness of the city and the warm reception given to us by the German people. We went to sea on 31 May andlooked forward to Cherbourg, France seventeen days away. .sr , , to www, x WIKI IW

' SHIP' HI TORY The U SS BEATTY QDD-7565 was launched 30 November 1944 at the Bethlehem Steel and Shipbuilding Company Yard, Staten Island, New York. She was commissioned on 31 March 1945. The early duty of the BEATTY was varied. Primarily a training ship, she saw service in both the Atlantic and Pacific Fleets. Her first overseas assignment was in 1947 when the ship visited England, Scandanavia, and Gibraltar. The following year, 1948, the BEATTY operated in the vicinity of Haifa, in support of the UN truce commission during the Jerusalem crisis. Several other Mediterranean Cruises followed in 1949, 1950, and 1951. In 1951 BEATTY transited the Pacific for Patrol and Blockade duty off the coast of Korea. For two months she participated in extensive shore bombardment and anti-submarine action off the Hingnam area. During the 1950's BEATTY deployed to the Medi- terranean five times. She also took part in 3 different trouble shooting missions. Dominican Republic-1961, Blockade of Cuba- 1962, and Costa Rica-1963. In all BEATTY has been through two Mercury Recovery Missions, 11 cruises to the Mediterranean, more than 20 cruises to the Caribbean, 7 times through the Panama Canal, 8 times through the Suez Canal and 26 Atlantic crossings. After a highly successful North European Cruise, BEATTY looks forward to a very full life of continuing accomplishment. K .. A-1 .
